Abstract
A system for controlling, by a hypervisor, access to physical resources during execution of a virtual machine includes a physical disk and a hypervisor. The physical disk is provided by a computing device and stores at least a portion of a virtual disk. The hypervisor executes on the computing device. The hypervisor allocates, to the virtual disk, an amount of access to the physical disk. The hypervisor determines that a level of utilization of the physical disk has exceeded a threshold. The hypervisor limits, in response to the determination, access by the virtual disk to the physical disk.
Claims18
A method for controlling, by a hypervisor, access to physical resources during execution of a virtual machine, the method comprising:
- allocating, by a hypervisor, to a virtual disk in a virtual machine, an amount of access to at least one physical disk;
- determining, by the hypervisor, that a level of utilization of the at least one physical disk exceeds a threshold;
- and
- limiting, by the hypervisor, in response to the determination, access by the virtual disk to the at least one physical disk.
A system for controlling, by a hypervisor, access to physical resources during execution of a virtual machine, the system comprising:
- a physical disk provided by a computing device and storing at least a portion of a virtual disk in a virtual machine;
- and
- a hypervisor executing on the computing device, the hypervisor i) allocating to the virtual disk an amount of access to the physical disk, ii) determining that a level of utilization of the physical disk exceeds a threshold, and iii) limiting, in response to the determination, access by the virtual disk to the physical disk.
